My body’s burnin’ like a lava from a Mauna Loa
My heart’s crackin’ like a Krakatoa
Krakatoa, east of Java, molten bodies, fiery lava

Fire, fire, burnin’ bright
Turn on your love lava
Turn on your lava light
Fire, oh volcano, over you
Don’t let your lava love turn to stone
Keep it burnin’
Keep it burnin’ here at home

Oooo Hot Lava
Oooo Hot Lava

My love may be as high as the highest volcano
But the altitude is way too high
Well it gets so cold when you look at me that way—yeah
I just wanna have that hot lava
Lovin’ me away

My love’s mountin’
My love’s eruptin’ like a red hot volcano
Fire, oh volcano, over you
I gotta lotta lava love locked up inside me

My love’s a lava bomb
Knock you in the head
Knock you in the head
Kick you in the lava bed
Over you, hot lava
Don’t let your lava love turn to stone
Keep in burnin’
Keep it burnin’ here at home

Oooo it’s so hot
It’s burnin’ up in here
Oooo look out, it’s about to erupt
Oooo my body’s burnin’ like a lava from a Mauna Loa
My heart’s crackin’ like a Krakatoa

Hot fire, red-hot fire
Lava, ohh, hot lava
Hot lava, red-hot lava
Hot lava, re-e-ed, hot lava
Oh hot lava

I’m gonna let it go
Let it flow like Pompeii or Herculaneum
Let it sizzle, let it rise
Don’t let your lava love flow turn to stone
Keep it burnin’
Keep it burnin’ here at home

I’m gonna jump in a crater
See ya later
Oooo hot lava
Oooo hot lava
Hot lava
Red hot lava
Hot lava
Red hot lava
Yeah

About Lyrics and Lava by The B-52'S

The lyrics to Lava are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by The B-52'S in 1979. Elements of the lyrics to Lava are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by The B-52'S and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Lava back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Lava by The B-52'S in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Lava" means the words set to the music of Lava, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by The B-52'S. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Lava and the lyrics to Lava are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of The B-52'S who came here looking just for the lyrics to Lava, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
